Microsoft Lync is the leading Unified Communications (UC) platform in the marketplace today - seamlessly combining telephony, instant messaging, web conferencing, and A/V conferencing in a single application. But organizations are struggling with the question of how to make Lync work with their existing investments in legacy Cisco IP telephony. In this session, we will be taking a deep look at the best ways to leverage Lync in addition to an existing Cisco infrastructure.
Based on years of integration experience with Microsoft UC and Cisco, Perficient will share best practices and recommendations for getting the most out of Lync. This event will give you clear ideas of what works, what doesn't, and how best to bring UC to your organization.
The document discusses the role of a business architect in leveraging emerging technology trends to innovate existing business models.

The role of a business architect is to understand these trends and collaborate to apply them in a way that achieves a company's business network strategy and positions the company competitively within its industry.
Entrepreneur boot camp starting a business - november 1 2012 - dave litwillerDave Litwiller
Starting a Technology Business by Dave Litwiller provides advice on starting a technology business. It discusses that a founding team of 2-3 members with both technical and business experience is ideal. The product or service should solve a real problem that customers have and that others cannot easily replicate. The business model elements of revenue, gross margin, operating costs, working capital, and investment are key to consider. Intellectual property should be properly assigned and protected. Speed to market and adapting based on customer feedback are also emphasized.
The document discusses best practices for supporting sales teams. It recommends that product managers get feedback from sales teams in the field, form close partnerships between different departments to quickly help sales, provide the right sales tools and training, and showcase successful customers and salespeople. The overall message is that product managers should view sales as a critical partner and support them through open communication, collaboration, and by addressing their needs.

Data and analytic strategies for developing ethical itHyoun Park
Suggested audience: CIO, Enterprise Architects, Data Managers, Analytics Managers, Data Scientists
IT is broken. Bad data assumptions, legacy technology, poor business decisions, and weak IT management have changed IT from a superstar to a second-rate department that struggles to maintain its seat at the CEO's table.

In this webinar, Amalgam Insights explores how current data, BI, analytics, and machine learning technologies threaten ethical IT and provides guidance based on other rules-based frameworks that derive business outcomes, such as the law and corporate legislation.
This document discusses how business leaders can lead their organizations in the digital world.

It suggests digital leaders strategically invest in areas like customer engagement, internal operations, collaboration, and new business models. The document provides tips for digital leadership, including listening on social media, learning from blogs and online content, collaborating using tools like Doodle and Podio, and managing crises and reputation on platforms like Twitter. Overall, it argues that digital leadership is key to gaining a competitive advantage in today's business environment.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
